vichen,
Every dental school in the world educates their students on the biological, pathological and histological changes that occur in the jaw bone as a result of non vital teeth, root canaled teeth, infected teeth, and periodontal disease, etc. So to be clear there is no reasonable or rational scientific doubt about the occurrence of those things. The questions lie with the dentists apprehension to communicate openly to a patient about this topic resulting in the patient having no choice but to concede to dental treatment that they have been misinformed, ill informed or not informed about.
Another thing that occurs between a dentist and a patient that most people would not be aware of unless they have worked in the dental field has to do with the variety of dental problems that a person presents themselves with. Meaning when a person has unresolved problems due to various reasons and/or areas of the mouth that have been patched up rather than properly restored, dentists are cautious about how they proceed with that patient because they do not want to inadvertently be blamed for any complications that may arise from something that the previous dentist(s) did or didn't do. Dentistry is very complicated in that there is no ideal procedure to repair or restore a tooth once it has broken down. So there are so many little details that are often associated with each and every procedure and in each individual case. What is also taken into consideration is the expectations and limitations of the patient and having to meet those successfully. Meaning patient health, finances, priorities... etc.
As I stated previously, there is no way for me to tell you if some or all of your previously extracted teeth have or will develop cavitations in the jaw bone. There are several factors that go into the development of a jaw bone cavitation and I have no way to know the degree or proliferation of infection that each tooth had or how competent the dentist was in his efforts to remove the diseased tooth, tissue and bone. Your overall health, lifestyle and diet also play key roles in the health and healing of your jaw bone.
I looked on the IAOMT website for a biological dentist and the only one listed was this one. I can not vouch for her as I have no personal knowledge or affiliation with her or her office.

Anyway, I have been pregnant and breastfeeding for all past two years, so couldn't pull out the infection ones.
My question now is based on what I described, do your think other than my remain root canalled teeth, all other that has been extracted in the past are definitely developed into a cavitation and I need to take care of that asap as well? Sorry I keep asking you this because in my city there's really no understanding oral surgeon can help me in this side. Do you know any good dentist in Vancouver? Thanks!
